Two of those albums came out in 2015, both on Seattle’s Sub Pop Records: “Depression Cherry” in August, then “Thank Your Lucky Stars” in October. To get an idea of Beach House’s clout in the indie-music world, one must rewind to 2000 and 2001 to find the last band whose label let it pull off something comparable: Radiohead’s “Kid A” and “Amnesiac.”

Beach House’s core members are guitarist-keyboardist Alex Scally and vocalist-keyboardist Victoria Legrand. The duo — joined live by drummer Daniel Franz — came together in Baltimore in 2004, emerging as the crown jewel of a fertile scene that’s produced numerous intriguing acts, including Roomrunner, Dustin Wong and Future Islands.

Beach House

Musically, Legrand and Scally opt for atmosphere over easy hooks, her contralto — the lowest type of female voice — earning comparisons to Nico, and his glassy guitarscapes to shoegaze legends Slowdive. But perhaps the best reference point for Beach House’s overall vibe is the films of David Lynch. It’s a comparison they clearly don’t mind, having cast Ray Wise — Leland Palmer, to “Twin Peaks” fans — in the unsettling MTV clip for “Wishes,” off the 2012 album “Bloom.” They’ve also made a concert movie, “Forever Still,” filmed in the West Texas desert, sans crowd, a la “Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii.”

Watch it — it’s only 27 minutes — and you’ll see how deliberately and precisely the group plays. They do everything that way, from how they arrange their songs — which achieve a transporting quality through repetition, drone notes, fade-ins and fade-outs — to how they manage their image, writing their own bios and declining most interview requests, including one from The Seattle Times.

If asked, however, Scally and Legrand might agree synesthesia — the stimulation of multiple senses at the same time — is their endgame. The deep red cover of “Depression Cherry” might look stark in 2D, but the jacket is made of crushed velvet. And anyone who caught their sold-out Showbox sets on the full-band “Bloom” tour likely remembers the backdrop — four custom light boxes, dimming and brightening in sync with the music — as vividly as the performance itself.

The seats at the Paramount should make a nice fit for Beach House’s heady sounds — it’s easier to drift away sitting than standing — but die-hards with $60 to spare also have the option of attending a semi-secret show Tuesday (May 3) at an undisclosed gallery somewhere in Seattle. (Currently, the show appears to be sold out.) According to the band’s website, Scally and Legrand will “install a design we have created and play as a two-piece within this ‘installation.’ ” Audience members are encouraged to “bring a pillow.”
